What this Trial Is About
Twin pregnancies account for 3-4% of all births and have increased due to assisted fertilization, ovulation drugs, and older maternal age. They pose unique challenges because they carry higher risks than singleton pregnancies, including increased chances of preeclampsia, preterm delivery, gestational diabetes, and complications specific to monochorionic twins, such as twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. These risks create emotional and economic burdens for families and society. This observational study follows women with twin pregnancies closely using international guidelines for monitoring multiple pregnancies. The goal is to build a detailed database covering clinical, laboratory, and ultrasound data from early pregnancy through postpartum to identify the best management practices. Women receive specialized care from a team focused on multiple pregnancies to detect and address complications early. Participants will undergo regular evaluations throughout pregnancy and after birth, including clinical assessments and diagnostic tests as recommended by specialists. The study aims to compare outcomes of twin pregnancies with and without complications and to find markers that help prevent issues early in pregnancy. Participation lasts about one year, covering the full pregnancy and postpartum period to ensure comprehensive monitoring and follow-up.
